    Canadian Mineralogist, Vol. 11, pp. 819-825 (1972) HAUCHECORNITE — ANTIMONIAN, ARSENIAN AND TELLURIAN VARIETIES R. I. GAIT * and D. C. HARRIS ** Abstract Three varieties of hauchecomite, each from a different locality, are described: arsenian hauchecomite from the Vermilion mine, Sudbury District, Ontario; antimonian hauchecomite from the Friedrich mine, Westphalia; and tellurian hauchecomite from the Strathcona mine, Sudbury District, Ontario. The electron microprobe analyses yielded the following formulae: Vermilion — Ni9(Bi,As)2S8; Westphalia — Ni9(Bi, Sb)2S8 and Strathcona — Ni9(Bi,Te)2S8. Small amounts of Co and Fe may substitute for Ni. The cell dimensions vary slightly for each variety; the ranges are: a = 14.52 to 14.64A and c = 10.80 to 10.87A,_Z = 8. S.G.(calc) vary from 6.50 to 6.56, S.G.<meas.) 6.35. The space group is either P42m, P422 or P4/mmm. Reflectance values for each variety were measured, and for wavelengths betwen 470 and 650 nm the ranges are: Vermilion (max.) 43.0 to 51.6, (min.) 41.6 to 50.8; for Westphalian hauchecomite (max.) 42.1 to 48.5, (min.) 41.3 to 47.9 ; for hauchecomite from Strathcona the ranges are (max.) 44..8 to 51.9, (min.) 41.2 to 48.2. VHN50(kg/mm:J) for Vermilion hauche comite are 516-655, for Westphalian material 447-655, and for Strathcona 182-825. In 1950, Peacock (1950a & b) reinstated hauchecomite (Westphalia) as a valid species. Our data for arsenian and tellurian hauchecomite are similar to Peacock's for anti monian hauchecomite.

  • Appendix I – Data and Information Gaps
    Appendix I: Data and Information Gaps This appendix outlines the key data and information gaps for each climate change – watershed issue: source water protection, low water response, stormwater management, riverine flooding, and integrated watershed management, including gaps pertaining to guidance materials and tools, as articulated by each of the five Local Adaptation Collaboratives (LACs). The appendix is intended to act as an organic/living document, requiring updating and continuous improvement as more data, information, guidance and tools become available, and as watershed managers become more aware and knowledgeable around their specific needs to enhance their understanding of vulnerability, risk, and adaptation options. While adaptation is typically a “process” of an evolving understanding of climate change risks and its application into action, the purpose of this appendix is to identify the meta data requirements, specifically longitudinal data sets, information, guidance and tools that are used or needed by the LACs for each of the climate change related risks associated with watershed management. In many cases the data and information gaps identified reflect the challenges facing the LACs to establish a comprehensive baseline of their own watershed characteristics, and the gaps that need to be addressed to determine vulnerability to current climate, let alone climate change impacts. In addition to gaps, policy issues pertaining to the regulatory environment framing each climate change – watershed issue are identified. However, in the absence of a more comprehensive policy analysis, the appendix and corresponding report only touches upon related policy issues, and as such the discussion is intended to be more policy relevant rather than policy prescriptive.

  • SUDBURY DISTRICT NURSE PRACTITIONER CLINICS ANNUAL REPORT October 01 2013 – September 30 2014
    SUDBURY DISTRICT NURSE PRACTITIONER CLINICS ANNUAL REPORT October 01 2013 – September 30 2014 Sudbury District Nurse Practitioner Clinics – A Bold Step in Primary Health Care Delivery About SDNPC Sudbury District Nurse Practitioner Clinics (SDNPC) opened its doors to patients during the summer of 2007. The first clinic site is located near the downtown core in the City of Greater Sudbury and a second site is open in Lively. The clinics are a bold step forward in primary health-care delivery in Ontario with a model of care that utilizes Nurse Practitioners in a way that allows them to practice to their full scope. SDNPC recognizes Nurse Practitioners contribution to the health-care system as vital and necessary if Ontario is to solve the current primary health care crisis. NPs complete patient intakes, physical assessments and refer patients for diagnostic testing. They diagnose and prescribe medication for a variety of illnesses and monitor stable chronic diseases. Many patients will only need to see their Nurse Practitioner. However, all members of the inter-professional team see patients and are available for consultation with the Nurse Practitioners. The clinics have medical secretaries/receptionists, as well as an Administrative Lead, who support the efficient functioning of the clinics ensuring that health care providers can focus on providing patient care. Orphan patients often fear ending up in the hospital, or even becoming an ALC statistic, by nature of the episodic care they receive at walk-in clinics and overcrowded Emergency Departments. NP-led clinics are part of the solution to increasing access to health care for those orphan patients in our communities.

  • What Is the Greater Sudbury Health Link?
    What is the Greater Sudbury Health Link? Information for Individuals and Caregivers The Greater Sudbury Health Link (GSHL) works to improve the well-being of Sudbury residents who require many health and social services. This may include people who are challenged by several physical health conditions, mental illness, addictions or developmental disability. It may also include those who struggle to access other things that are important for health such as income, housing, and social supports. The Greater Sudbury Health Link is unique because it brings people together with their full team of health and community service providers - doctors, specialists, therapists, community health and social service providers and other informal caregivers.
